– Central Plains American Red Cross, South Heartland District Health Dept., and many others.

Page 41: Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW)

SCPETR – Proudly Serving the Citizens of South Central Nebraska

Lessons Learned – Aug 2008

• Local agencies overcame technical problems to maintain communications.

• EOC’s receive and manage disaster information well.• Region depends on EMS to operate Paraclete. Region

requires more trained COMLs to complete this task.• Regional PIO duties also largely depend on local EMs.

Additional training to develop a cadre of PIOs is necessary.• Exercise MSEL did not allow for a full test of the Paraclete. A

subsequent exercise is recommended for this purpose.

Page 42: Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW)

SCPETR – Proudly Serving the Citizens of South Central Nebraska

Improvement Plan Update

• Nuclear Plant Exercises(Otoe, Nemaha, & Richardson Counties plus NEMA)

• SEMRS Pan Flu Tabletop• Seward County Mass Casualty Exercise

Page 50: Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW)

Lessons Learned• Need for formalized communications plan (responders and

hospitals).• Lack of formalized Mutual Aid agreements in the region.• Huge need for PIO Training in the area.• Confusion on Foreign Animal Disease response and County

Recovery plans.• COOP Plans are still needed.• Need refresher on ICS training, mainly Unified Command.• TICP confusion, who needs to know the TICP exists.

Page 51: Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW)

Update on Improvement Plans• Have been working throughout the region on Inter local

agreements for the Emergency Managers.• The region knows that a communications plan is necessary,

waiting to see how the Paraclete system and tower being built with PSIC funding will affect communications.

• PIO training is being scheduled.• Need to do some education on FAD within the region to

include elected officials, producers, and responders.• Developing some TT exercises to address the Unified

Command issues. Included in these exercises are Fire, EMS, LE, Hospitals, and Public Health Officials.

Page 52: Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW)

Training Needs and Priorities

• PIO Training – Being scheduled• EOC Training – Infant stages • COOP Training • Mass Fatality Training – waiting on a date• Elected Officials Workshops – 1 scheduled in

March and 1 in April• Ham Radio Operator Training – Working with

Thomas, Logan, McPherson, Hooker, Grant, Arthur, Keith and Deuel

Page 56: Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW)

Regional PET Governance• The region has created a governing body

that deals with both grant funds and PET.• The governing body consists of a Chairman,

Vice Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary. The rest of the board is made of voting members.

• The Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Secretary are elected positions that are voted on at the first meeting in January.

Page 57: Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW)

Regional PET Governance Cont.

• The Treasurer’s position is filled by the Region’s fiscal contact, so does not change.

• The Region has MOU’s that have helped form the NCR.

Page 58: Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW)

Exercises Conducted in 2008

• NCR TTX at Halsey • Scenario was a severe winter storm• Exercise was conducted with ICF• TTX in Custer County• Scenario was a Weather Related HazMat spill.• Exercise was designed by Custer County and

the Regional ETO.

Page 59: Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW)

Lessons Learned

• A "Regional" exercise was worth the time put into it, but was not realistic for the amount of counties. Participation was low because of that as well. Would rather have more localized exercises with jurisdictions that we are more apt to work with.

Page 60: Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW)

Status of Improvement Plan

• Communications is the majority of the tasks in the Improvement Plan

• Training is another portion of the plan, and this is being met with several trainings that have been scheduled.

• Other areas of the Improvement Plan are being worked on, but are going to take longer to put together.

Page 61: Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW)

Training needs from Lessons Learned

• EOC training for the participants that would need to be there.

• Drills between counties on backing up each other with communications.

Page 62: Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW)

5 Year Calendar Updates• The calendar is progressive • There are planning meetings at a minimum of every

quarter.• There will be a functional exercise conducted in the

eastern side of the region.• We will start working with the western portion of the

region this summer.• Several drills will be conducted in the Region.• NIMS refresher courses are still being conducted and

new NIMS courses are being conducted all of this is being done through out the NCR.

Page 63: Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW)

Training Priorities

• Agro-terrorism for several parts of the region.• Sending individuals to EMI for more advanced

training.• Conducting an IS – 300 and IS – 400 class in

the NCR.• After completion of the Paraclete Region,

training and drills on the system.

Page 64: Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW)

Exercise Priorities

• Drills on backup communications among the Counties and Regions within the NCR.
